I KNOW IT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

Washed Out - Belong
This is a bit too summery for the autumn we're slipping into lately but if it's as sunny with you as it is with me today just remember that it's the weekend and turn it up.

If you want to hear more from Washed Out head this way or that and if you'd like something else to wrap your ears around try the excellent gorillavsbear.

WON'T LET YOU TALK ME DOWN

Photobucket
I hadn't expected to be excited about the new Twilight film, and to be fair I'm still not, but have you seen the soundtrack?! most ridiculous, and ridiculously worth getting your hands on. Tracks come from Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear and this most immaculate song from Bon Iver and St Vincent. If it's still Sunday with you, put it on repeat.








Bon Iver and St. Vincent - Roslyn

I KNOW YOU FEEL IT TOO

Photobucket
There has been alot of good albums out this year but there are a few I'm still waiting on. Most will probably be edging in on 2010 for a release date (LCD Soundsystem, New Young Pony Club) but there is some brightness in our near futures. Tegan and Sara's follow up to 2007's The Con, Sainthood is due for release on the 27th of October and even nearer than that, first single Hell has just been released on iTunes.








Tegan and Sara - Hell

For more on Tegan and Sara you can check out their well updated and often highly amusing website or follow them on twitter. And if you're still hankering for more they feature on a track on Tiesto's new album Kaleidoscope, released today, called Feel it in my bones. Tiesto's a bit too trance nation-y for me personally but it's a pretty nifty song - Kaleidoscope also features Jonsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros and Emily Haines... worth checking out for those names alone.
